Important Note from WVT Labs
IMPORTANT INFORMATION for those of you who use WVT Labs (nasal swab tests) for PreK, LowK, and adult Covid-19 testing. WVT has sent us the following notices:
If you have taken WVT PCR nasal swab test kits home and have not yet used them, please check the date of expiration! Some of them will expire soon. The tube with colored liquid can be thrown in the regular trash. The other contents are still good. You can get replacements at Stearns Hall. Please see the image above on where to find the expiration date. It is listed YYYY, MM, DD.
WVT Labs will now be rejecting any samples that do not have initials/name and DOB written on the tube. Having these patient identifiers on your test tube is extremely important for processing your tests and is a part of their accreditation. Please be sure to write the name and birthdate of the patient on all samples!!
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
